New Hope, United States Rockwood Wealth Management Full time

Execution Trader


Rockwood Wealth Management is an established financial advisory firm serving clientele from our office in New Hope, PA. We are in the family wealth management business focusing on high-net-worth clients, families, and business owners. Through a planning process built on integrity, expertise, and attention to every detail, we navigate our clients through every phase of comprehensive financial planning and discretionary investment management. We have been serving this area and regional niche for more than 15 years and have a constantly evolving succession plan in place to ensure that we’ll be here 30+ years from now.


This is a unique opportunity unlike most in the financial services industry. First, our firm is completely independent…there is no broker dealer affiliation. Therefore, as fiduciaries our loyalty belongs exclusively to our clients. Second, we offer a competitive compensation structure (salary and benefit package) and an equity ownership track for coworkers who demonstrate hard work and leadership characteristics while supporting the long-term goals of our firm. You will be a member of a collaborative and supportive team of high-performing colleagues all working hard to help us grow a successful and multigenerational business.


Rockwood Wealth Management is seeking to add an A-Player to our team, in the role of Execution Trader. This highly capable person is motivated by the challenge to expand his or her technical and organizational skills and can perform at a high level as part of a dynamic team. If you are experienced in the investment management industry, including trading, portfolio management, and operations, this could be the opportunity for you. Candidates without investment experience will be considered if they have a high degree of demonstrated academic performance and an aptitude for trading operations.

The Execution Trader is a member of the Investment Operations team and reports to the Portfolio Manager.


Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Ensure best efforts for any trade requests submitted after cut-off time.
  • Support Billing Team as needed to raise cash for advisory fees.
  • Assist with maintenance and rebalance of firm-managed models.
  • Assist and train advisors on trading platform and related technology.
  • Assist on special projects and ad hoc assignments.
